Self the Devil's Whore (3)

    Self the Devil's Whore (3)

So deep I’d felt my lover’s knife

So high my dungeon’s wall

Always a whore never a wife

Always at beck and call

 

Though ravaged, hurt abused inside

Heart torn with awesome pain

Christ claimed me as His virgin bride

And gave me hope again

 

He stripped me of my filthy gown

In blood He steeped me whole

He gave to me Salvation’s crown

And saved my wretched soul

 

Saved from destruction, rescued from hell

My eyes now trained above

I’m wise to Satan, the wares he’d sell!

Within the hands of love

 

He’s intimate with great and small

Their weakness ever wise

Eager seducing God would call

So glad to take them prize

 

Even God’s house is not without

Not few still bear his name

With pride he clouds their heads with doubt

Infesting hearts with shame

 

Beware the church those born-again

Is truly Christ your head?

There’s no one safe from Satan’s reign

Man’s flesh is never dead

 

We need God’s Son, His shield of Light

His armour made for war

I know in Christ we’ll win the fight

For “I” was Satan’s whore.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
